Ashok asks: : Anyone heard the G Man full-length on Swim? Opinions, reviews, : foamings-at-the-mouth requested. I've got it. I'd have to say it's probably not for everyone (tp, stay away!) but if you like it dark, minimal, and relentlessly monochromatic this is for you. It's got all the "hits" (at least around here "Turtle", "Sparticus", "Quo Vardis" and "Mars" have been DJ staples), in a continuous digital mix courtesy of Mark Gage. It's all echoey textures and massively 4 on the floor [hence my warning to Aran ;) ], but it booms like a monster. There's a _major_ Basic Channel influence, too, though Gez's timbres aren't as deep (IMO). -d.w.

I heard Vapourspace/Mark Gage last night open up for Orbital (who absolutely rocked the house). I haven't heard G-Man, but Mr. Walker's description fits perfectly with the music that was played. Very dark, very sinister sound. I liked it. As for Orbital, my mind was completely blown. The crowd was definitely in an Orbital mood. The set was much more on the fly -- at one point I'm posititve that they were playing two different songs at once, total overlap. Weird and loud as hell. Finished up with Chime, which wasn't the best closer: the highlight was definitely "Satan". Everyone was bouncing, unlike the Organic show. BTW: Not that there needs to be another Organic review or anything, but I too am feeling verbose following the show and what began as a simple post is turning out to be a major novel. I should have some pics developed and uploaded by the first of next week. Check in Tuesday at: http://www.teleport.net/~szymczak/organic96.html Peace, pete. Dave Walker wrote:
